Lately many people have been feeling overwhelmed by the constant stream of news, social media, and global events. When the world feels heavy, it can leave us feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or even numb.
In this solo episode, Celeste talks about the psychological impact of living in a time where we are constantly exposed to information and stress. She explains what happens to our nervous system when we stay in a prolonged state of "alert mode" and why so many people feel mentally drained.
More importantly, this episode focuses on what we can actually do to protect our mental health without ignoring the reality of what's happening in the world.
In this episode we discuss:
• Why our brains were not designed for 24/7 global awareness • How constant headlines and social media impact the nervous system • The two common traps people fall into when dealing with stress and uncertainty • How to stay informed without becoming emotionally overwhelmed • Simple ways to regulate your nervous system and protect your mental health
If you've been feeling overwhelmed or mentally overloaded lately, this conversation offers perspective and practical ways to stay grounded.
Small shifts create big change.
